Abstract: Simulation is being used to attain a better understanding of many complex situations. In this analysis, GPSS/360 was employed as a simulation language to investigate the effects of operating policy guidelines and decision rules in the manufacture of component parts used interchangeably in the final product form. The analysis is developed on hypothetical data and interchangeable part mixture based on an actual manufacturing systems. A number of criterion measures are considered, and four policy decision rules are investigated.
